Synthetic Protein Amplifies Genes Needed for Stem Cells
February 16, 2012 — Scientists have found a way to generate and maintain stem cells much more efficiently by amplifying the effect of an essential protein. Researchers have created synthetic versions of a protein, which ... > full story -
Stem Cell Study in Mice Offers Hope for Treating Heart Attack Patients
February 15, 2012 — A new stem cell study conducted in mice suggests a novel strategy for treating damaged cardiac tissue in patients following a heart attack. The approach potentially could improve cardiac function, ... > full story -
Stem Cell Treatments Improve Heart Function After Heart Attack
February 14, 2012 — Stem cell therapy moderately improves heart function after a heart attack, according to a systematic review. But the researchers behind the review say larger clinical trials are needed to establish ... > full story -

Critical Stage of Embryonic Development Now Observable
February 14, 2012 — A novel approach in the study of the development of mammalian embryos has just been developed. The research enables scientists to view critical aspects of embryonic development which was previously ... > full story -
First-of-Its-Kind Stem Cell Study Re-Grows Healthy Heart Muscle in Heart Attack Patients
February 13, 2012 — Results from a new clinical trial show that treating heart attack patients with an infusion of their own heart-derived cells helps damaged hearts re-grow healthy muscle. Patients who underwent the ... > full story -
Radiation Treatment Generates Cancer Stem Cells from Less Aggressive Breast Cancer Cells, Study Suggests
February 13, 2012 — Breast cancer stem cells are thought to be the sole source of tumor recurrence and are known to be resistant to radiation therapy and don’t respond well to chemotherapy. Researchers report for ... > full story -
Neurologic Improvement Detected in Rats Receiving Stem Cell Transplant
February 10, 2012 — Researchers report that early transplantation of human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells into the lateral ventricles of neonatal rats with birth-related brain damage is possible, and that the ... > full story -
Nanotube Therapy Takes Aim at Breast Cancer Stem Cells
February 9, 2012 — Researchers have again shown that injecting multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into tumors and heating them with a quick, 30-second laser treatment can kill ... > full story -
Scientists Use Old Theory to Discover New Targets in Fight Against Breast Cancer
February 7, 2012 — Reviving a theory first proposed in the late 1800s that the development of organs in the normal embryo and the development of cancers are related, scientists have studied organ development in mice to ... > full story
